Chess Journey Of Chandrajeet Rajawat
Early Days
Chandrajeet discovered chess as a teenager and learned most of it on his own. With limited resources, he built a small routine: daily tactics, basic endgames, and short notes after each game. Local club games and early tournaments taught him patience, time control, and how to stay calm. These habits shaped the way he studies and plays even today.
Chess Career
Over the years he competed in classical, rapid, and blitz events. He became a seven-time Rajasthan State Champion and the state’s first Blitz Champion. He later earned the Arena Grandmaster title. His training focuses on practical skills—pattern recognition, clear plans, and simple endgame knowledge that works under time pressure.
